Great to meet you!

With more than 40 years of experience, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship concerns, family conflict, stress, anger management, and self-esteem challenges. I believe in building a trusting, supportive relationship where you feel comfortable being yourself. My clients often describe me as empathetic, understanding, and easy to talk to, while also appreciating that I'll gently challenge them when needed to help them make meaningful progress. I work with children, teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families, and I am a Medicare provider.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, laid-back, and compassionate, while also being honest and direct when it's helpful. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership where we work together toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your concerns, explore your goals, and create a treatment plan together. I'll explain what the therapy process looks like, answer any questions you have, and make sure you leave with a clear understanding of our path forward.
